This is not problem solving. It is a
In systems engineering, a closed loop lacking an external regulatory mechanism will continually feed its own output back into the system as new input. Rumination operates on this exact structural principle. Because the mind cannot locate a tangible, safe resolution to the perceived threat, the processing loop generates increasing internal friction. Without a deliberate circuit breaker—such as the physical regulation in the PCPCR Protocol—this systemic oscillation will continually accelerate, eventually degrading the structural integrity of your focus and energy.
